I'm trying to put together a bonsai course for mentally and physically
disabled people.
Does anyone here know of any? and where would I find info on the web?

I would start with the course that Tom Zane put up on the BCI site for free
and modify it.
I am working with a mentally disabled man to raise his own Bonsai.
He frequently calls plants by his own version of the right name. He is
impatient, wanting to put everything in a bonsai pot right away. He is afraid to
prune.
But, he does understand some of the basic design principles and most of his
stuff stays alive.
